VAGby `Laurazee

Traditional Art / Paintings / Landscapes & Scenery

Acrylic on Canvas, 20" x 20"

VAG = stands for "Vancouver Art Gallery" (ah, no, not what one might immediately think when one sees those three letters together). The VAG was originally designed as a courthouse and still frequently plays one in many of the movies and TV shows that are filmed in Vancouver. The gallery contains lots of Canadiana such as Emily Carr and many of the Group of Seven painters.

My memories of VAG are of sitting on the steps in my early 20s, smoking, wearing Doc Martens and too much eyeliner and some silly peasant dress. It was always a well-known meeting point because the vantage from the steps lent itself to excellent people-watching. You were never bored, waiting there.

I painted this one as I remember it best, always late afternoon, early evening, with a golden-pink glow from the lowering sun.

Stunning painting and commentary! How to love this ever present - and hopefully always - pile! I'm far far more familiar with the outside than the in! So many protests...
